Where did it all begin?
It all began at 3 years old when I started performing at local Pamala Keeley Stage School. When I was 4 years old I began ballet with Anne Maher School Of Ballet (Director of Ballet Ireland) And when I was 6 years old I started learning the piano. I always had a passion for performing. Whether it was singing with the piano, on the stage, or making up my own shows at home, I did not stop. My first show memory was when I was 4 years old. It was our Christmas showcase and we wore yellow rain coats and sang/tapped to singing in the rain. From a young age I also had the opportunity to take part in many music recitals. At age 9, Myself and my sister were invited to take part in a concert with world class orchestras and musicians. I started competition teams when I was 6 years old. The first being a variety show which I also helped choreograph. My Mam was directing the show and would ask myself and my sister to make up the dances while she drew stick figures of our moves, and then thought them to the cast of 25 children. From then I continued competing in community games finals and loved every moment. We reached the All Ireland finals every year and brought home many All Ireland Medals. A massive highlight was winning the variety all Irelands in 2009. |
